Atlético Madrid Faces a Historic Challenge at the Bernabéu
Atlético Madrid is preparing for an intense derby against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, a match that revives the historical tensions between the two teams. The red-and-white club arrives at the game with concerns about possible refereeing pressure, an issue that has created a tense atmosphere since last weekend.
Atlético recalls the controversial episodes from past seasons, such as the uncalled penalty on Morata in 19/20 or the disallowed goal by Morata in 18/19, where VAR did not favor them.
Additionally, the 22/23 season was particularly challenging, with three red cards in three derbies, including the controversial red card for Correa. Figures from the club, such as Tomás Reñones and Gil Marín, have expressed their frustration, pointing out that the pressure exerted by Real Madrid’s environment can influence refereeing decisions. Despite these challenges, Atlético remains steadfast, determined to compete without receiving any favors.
